Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times ( lemmy.world )

No if I have to keep fixing it , it is not worth my time.

I installed owncloud years ago and came to the same conclusion and just got rid of it. I use syncthing nowadays though its not the same thing.

Yep, I've adapted all of my setup to syncthing, and never looked back.

Any guidance on this? I looked into Synthing at one time to backup Android phones and got overwhelmed very quickly. I'd love to use it in a similar fashion to NextCloud for syncing between various computers too.

Well, it works in a different way than NextCloud. You don't have a server, instead you just make a share between your computers and they are all peers.

It takes some getting used to the idea, but it's actually much simpler than NextCloud.

So if I wanted to sync photos from my phone to the computer, then delete the local copies on my phone to save space, that would not work?

E: But keep the copies on the computer, of course

You would have to move them into some folder you are not syncing.
